+Subject: [PATCH] kern/file: Call grub_dl_unref() after fs->fs_close()
+
+With commit 16f196874 (kern/file: Implement filesystem reference
+counting) files hold a reference to their file systems.
+
+When closing a file in grub_file_close() we should not expect
+file->fs to stay valid after calling grub_dl_unref() on file->fs->mod.
+So, grub_dl_unref() should be called after file->fs->fs_close().
+
+Fixes: CVE-2025-54771
+Fixes: 16f196874 (kern/file: Implement filesystem reference counting)
